Hello I'm new to the site but if anyone is interested have some great photos of camp Ellis and bridge work across Rhine river and a great friend who actually had Patton pull up and speak with him . He is still here to ask questions and today we talked about the plane that flew over they named bed check Charlie.And I apologize I am not very handy with computers
Seeking information in regard to my great uncle, John Henry West - his grave marker indicates that he was part of the 1301st Engineers - Company E. He was a sargeant at the time of his departure from military service.
John never married, and surviving family members indicate he was a "changed man" after the war - he did not talk about what he experienced. I am going to piece together a brief history of his unit. I have requested records through the national archives center, altough I am told that his records may have been destroyed in the 1973 fire.
Any information on the 1301st would be appreciated . . . Not finding a lot online.
